    I do research at the university. So I have to read a lot of books, literature of a different kind. It's great that you still haven't lost your passion for literature. Any plans of becoming a teacher again?

    I don't have a literary background and only read books during whatever free time I can get. It's interesting to know how 'studying' a book can make reading it more enjoyable. Since you are literature major, can I assume you work where you can read a lot of books? Like a book reviewer for a magazine...

    That explains your shelf. How does/did it feel reading a book as a study (say to review it or write a paper on it) and for fun? What are you reading now?

    You have an impressive collection there. Noticed that most of them were literature stuff and not easy fiction. Is reading books part of your work/study?

    Actually it's now very easy to get a copy of the Satanic Verses. I got mine before the proliferation of the internet. I saw a copy at City Lights bookshop last year in San Francisco but that's quite a commute :-) It can be ordered either from there or Amazon.

    Rosencrantz..... I saw the play when it was performed here many many moons ago. It was a walking tour at the Wold Trade Center before it was renovated. The audience had to walk with the performers... Anyway you have superb taste in literature.
